I had a fill on Wednesday and I think it's too tight I can get water down but that's about it. Is this normal? Or is it too tight.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking

So I had my one month post op yesterday and I gained 2 pounds since my last visit.. Now be mindful I had zero in my band to start and he acted like I gained 20lbs through this whole thing including the the 6 month weight monitoring with him I have lost 60lbs. To me that's amazing. I am just 2 weeks post eating the soft food and I ate mostly mashed potatoes. He made me feel like a failure. =( In the past I use to have anxiety with the scale in the Dr office and now with the way he talked down to me I know I'm going to do the same thing next month. Idk if he was having a bad day or what. But life is emotional roller coaster and a learning curve if my new band. I feel he was very harsh I could understand if I gained 10 plus. Maybe I'm over reacting or maybe he things this will put a fire up my ass and me say haha look.. So now that you have read mine I wanna read yours =)

Literally my weight goes up and down by five. I'm already down 5 today so hopefully I will have a good weight loss at my weight in and I'll tell him look sorry that way doesn't work for my because I'm a crazy woman lol so fingers crossed. I'm going to follow his diet by a T. And I will start a food journal as of Monday. So If I do gain or not loss enough we can look together. Seeing this is what myself and my insurance company is paying for. I love my doc I think he had a bad day and i need to let him know I didn't appreciate it.. Thanks again guys I love my banded family =)

Hey guys I was banded on March 14th and had my post op appt Wednesday after I removed the bandages I noticed raised areas around my butterfly bandages and it was itchy nothing horrible. I went to my post op and it was worse so the dr said latex allergies or the adhesive allergic reaction. And to put antiitch meds on it. So I did that now today Friday 8 days post op it looks horrible the cuts are fine and no sign of infection but I have large raised circles around my port and the 2 cuts beside the port. larger raised and very very itchy that nothing is helping. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Go to the dermatologist ASAP I got the steroid cream and it's feeling better

Just thought I'd share what it looks like

Thanks everyone... Fingers crossed it will be gone soon

I got steroid cream to put on it.. Dr said holy cow lol guess it's pretty big. I'll be glad for it to be gone

Well I'm at the dermatologist now at the request of my surgeon. I have used the cream and taken benadryl with no help.

It is driving me crazy. All tape has been off since Wednesday and it is just getting worse. I have a call in with my Dr. I don't understand why it worse that just blows my mind and when my Dr seen it Wednesday he said oh gosh... Idk

At night it helps to fart it out.. Lol day 3 of post op and I haven't had to take gas X or any other gas meds. I haven't really eaten at all but today I'm hungry as hell.. I'm ready to move to solids =)

My surgery was yesterday I had a hernia that was repaired I was at the hospital all day yesterday went home late at around 6pm only had my meds at 7pm last night nothing so far today also my sister put the recliner in my room and I slept in that it definitely feels better then my bed

My surgery was today and I'm home but anytime I try and eat some broth I throw up my water and the broth is this something I need to worry about? I am on anti nausea meds too

Thanks for the advice.. I sipped a very small amount it was a baby spoon I was using water is only coming back up with the broth. So I don't know hopefully it the swelling from the surgery and passes in the morning.

I'm getting into the shower surgery is today.... I'm freaking lol guys wish me luck I have to be at the hospital at 8 am and surgery at 10 am..... Nervous eeekkkkkkkkk

I have a question my surgery is March 14th and I have a hair appointment on Friday March 22nd (8 days after) shampooing after she colors my hair is what I'm not so sure about but will I be feeling up too laying back for her to shampoo? Just wondering because I wanna make sure I canx my appointment sooner then later? Let me know what you guys who have been banded think

Omg..... Today is my last day at work. I'm taking Wednesday off to get things done and surgery on thrusday.. I wasn't nervous but now I'm freaking out. I can't believe this. I had a REALLY bad experience with gallbladder surgery with internal bleeding so I think it's all hitting me now. Please pray for me to keep calm and everything goes smoothly.
